I strongly suspect that Eon Next will rely on the Estimated Annual Usage (EAU) figures for your property which may or may not work in your favour. You really need to look at any bills issued by Eon Next (for the specific EAU electricity numbers) to work out if they are likely to bill you more or less than the figures that have been bandied about in this thread . If they are less then you will be billed fairly but if more then yes be prepared to argue your case re actual usage. Best of luck 🥂

It would be OK, if Eon estimates, were to be based on historical usage figures. And not something that is verging on arbitary ( Arbitary: Determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle.). Eon to get back on the usage. Cannot judge Eon yet on performance.

You just need to look at your most recent statements (page 2) for what the EAU number is for your electricity as I suspect this is where Eon Next will start from.

This is my most recent one which shows an EAU of 2392.4 kWh electricity v my actual usage in last 12 months of 2348kWh so within 2% of the EAU. Remember that EAU's are based on long term usage (probably more than 1 year) at your property.

My bill dated 17th March (2024) shows: "Estimated annual usage 213.1 kWh". Not sure if that is corrupted by the meter faiiling to record electric usage over the past 16 months. Quite possibly. An earlier bill, just before the meter failed shows: "Estimated Annual Usage 1006.2 kWh". That is more like it should be. I think my usage is about that figure. I think Eon are going to give me an estimated usage figure between 1000 KWh and say 1400 Kwh. These figures should not be very far off the mark. I'll get a response from Eon in about 2 weeks.

I'm still awaiting a bill, based on a calculated average historical usage. Eon came up with an annual usage figure of 1301.85 Kwh. They worked out an average usage rate of electricity of 2.63 (Kwh) per day. The period in question contains 495 days, thus usage given as: 495 x 2.63 = 1301.85.
